Morì a 71 anni, nel 1731, ad un'età in cui, ancora, Robinson correva per il mondo, visto che nel suo diario si legge che divenne assennato a settantadue anni. Naufragato su un'isola deserta e costretto alla solitudine per ventisette anni, Robinson riconosce gli errori della sua vita e acquista saggezza e maturità, anche se non sufficienti ad impedirgli, a sessantun anni, ormai ricco e padre di famiglia, di ascoltare la voce della sua smania di avventura. Ormai viaggiatore di professione, la seconda parte del libro narra le sue peripezie in oriente, in Cina e nel paese dei Tartari. Cornice musicale: Alessandro Scarlatti, concerto grosso in fa maggiore. © Dominio pubblico (P)2016 Silvia Cecchini

Title: The Canterville Ghost Author: Oscar Wilde Narrator: Edward Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-16 Publisher: Audioliterature Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: The home of the Canterville Ghost was the ancient Canterville Chase, which has all the accoutrements of a traditional haunted house. Descriptions of the wainscoting, the library paneled in black oak, and the armor in the hallway characterize the setting. Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient prophecies... A classic by a master, Wilde defuses the horror elements with his wonderful humor and intelligence! ©2016 Audioliterature (P)2016 Audioliterature

Le lecteur pénètre au cœur de la réalité cachée de la société, dans les arrière-boutiques des nantis, dans les coulisses du théâtre du "beau" monde. Octave Mirbeau arrache le masque de respectabilité des puissants, fouille dans leur linge sale, débusque les crapuleries camouflées derrière les manières et les grimaces avantageuses. Et il nous amène peu à peu à faire nôtre le constat vengeur de Célestine : "Si infâmes que soient les canailles, ils ne le sont jamais autant que les honnêtes gens." Bref, il nous révèle l'envers du décor et le fonds de sanie du cœur humain, mis à nu sans souci de la pudeur. Après Flaubert et Baudelaire, Mirbeau fait du bourgeois l'incarnation de la laideur morale, de la bassesse intellectuelle et de la misère affective et sexuelle, dont les Lanlaire, au patronyme ridicule, sont les vivants prototypes. © domaine public (P)2017 Le Livre Qui Parle

"Ich habe Burma seit 1995 mehrere dutzend Male bereist und bei den Recherchen für meine Romane 'Das Herzenhören' und 'Herzenstimmen' wurden mir immer wieder Märchen und Fabeln erzählt. Zum einen waren das bewegende Geschichten, die von dem mythologischen Reichtum der verschiedenen Völker Burmas erzählten, von der Spiritualität der Menschen und wie tief buddhistisches Denken die Gesellschaft über Jahrhunderte geprägt hat. Andere waren so fremd und skurril und kamen ohne eine sich mir erschließende Moral aus, sodass ich sie gar nicht einordnen konnte. Wieder andere erinnerten mich an die Märchen meiner Kindheit, nur, dass hier Affen, Tiger, Elefanten und Krokodile die Phantasiewelt bevölkerten statt Igel, Esel oder Gänse. Die Lehren, die sie vermitteln wollten, ähneln denen der Brüder Grimm oder Hans Christian Andersens und ich verstand, wie sehr sich alle Kulturen in ihren Mythen aus dem universellen Fundus menschlicher Weisheit bedienen."

In Briefen erzählt Ambrose Philipp von seinem Eheglück mit Rachel. Mit der Zeit jedoch werden die Briefe seltener, die Inhalte verwirrender. Eines Tages trifft ein beunruhigender Hilferuf aus Italien ein: Ambrose ist an einem rätselhaften Leiden erkrankt und fühlt sich von Rachel bedroht. Philipp reist alarmiert nach Florenz, doch er kommt zu spät: Ambrose ist tot, und von der jungen Witwe fehlt jede Spur... bis Rachel vor Philipps Tür in Cornwall steht. Und sie ist ganz anders, als er erwartet hätte: humorvoll, intelligent und zurückhaltend. Mehr und mehr verfällt Philipp der schönen Frau, doch plötzlich erkrankt auch er. Ein faszinierender und dramatischer Spannungsroman, jetzt in neuer Übersetzung. Daphne du Maurier wurde 1907 in London, England, als Tochter eines Schauspielers und dessen Frau geboren. Sie wuchs in London und Paris in sehr guten Verhältnissen auf, bekam Privatunterricht und schrieb erste Kurzgeschichten. Mit 19 Jahren ließ sich du Maurier in Cornwall, England, nieder, wo fortan auch ihre Geschichten spielten. Bekannt wurde sie vor allem durch ihren Roman "Rebecca" (1938), der später von Alfred Hitchcock erfolgreich verfilmt wurde, ebenso wie "Die Vögel". Daphne du Maurier starb am 19. April 1989. ©2017 Lindhardt og Ringhof (P)2017 Lindhardt og Ringhof Kritik Bewertungen: Ein lesenswerter Klassiker voll subtiler Spannung vor dem atmosphärischen Hintergrund Cornwalls. -- Belladonna

Title: The Stillwater Tragedy Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich Narrator: Victoria Bradley Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 07-14-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: "The Stillwater Tragedy" (1880) is a novel by Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Excerpt: "The chimney-stack of one house sends up no smoke. Yet the carefully trained ivy over the porch intimate that the place is not unoccupied. The sun appears to beat in vain at the casements of this silent house, which has a curiously sullen and defiant air, as if it had desperately and successfully barricaded itself against the approach of morning; yet if one were standing in the room that leads from the bed-chamber on the ground-floor - the room with the latticed window - one would see a ray of light thrust through a chink of the shutters, and pointing like a human finger at an object which lies by the hearth. This finger, gleaming, motionless, and awful in its precision, points to the body of old Mr. Lemuel Shackford, who lies there dead in his night-dress, with a gash across his forehead. In the darkness of that summer night a deed darker than the night itself had been done in Stillwater." ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature
